I just got home from Hawaii. Went to the Island of Moloklai and wired a bed & breakfast as a favor to a contractor. 14 hour days working and not enuff time surfing!

Molokai from the air. Flew to Honolulu, Oahu on Delta and got on a puddle-jumper and went to Molokai.

The flowers are amazing!

How big coconut trees start out.

Sunset on the beach.

Rainy-day cows. All had a little bram blood by the looks of their ears.

Cows and egrets on lush pasture. A really hard life for cattle!

I took a morning hunt for free-range Axis deer. Had a great time and even got a little buck. Brought the horns home and donated the meat to the locals.

My friend who took me hunting, Jason Lui.

As he lay. They are pretty little buggers.

The lava influenced soil was martian-like in places.

This area is grazed occasionally but is much dryer. The rainfall goes from 150 plus inches on the north and east end to 15 inches on the far west side. You know you are beyond help when ya go to Hawaii and spend your time workin, huntin, and lookin at cattle!

Sounds like a really hard life for you, the worker, too. How did you ever survive?! Nice pictures.

Nice pictures of a "working vacation." Surely you can make the trip deductible. Wink

You chose a good place to be lost Very Happy . Perhaps next winter you'll have to make another trip just to be sure the wiring is holding up Wink . Thanks for taking us along.

I'm sittin here trying to figure out a way to summer the cows here in the sandhills and winter/calve in Hawaii??? I'm guessing that the cattle drive might be a tad bit long, and the pond would be a little deeper than my horse would like to swim..but hey, if it would work..how cool would that be?... Wink
